Chapter 432: Soft? Soft!

Chapter 432: Soft? Soft!

Chapter 432: Soft? Soft!
The low roar of the engine echoed through the streets.

As the lights passed by, the black and smooth body of the Audi RS6 exuded a cool luster.

The car slowly slowed down and drove into the parking lot outside the Oasis Jingyuan community.

The car door was pushed open, and Wenruan walked out carrying LV SPEEDY 35.

Amid the sound of "tat tat" footsteps and gazes, he strode into the east gate of the community.

Since her Lynk & Co 06 was parked in the underground parking space here, the new car had to be parked outside temporarily.

However, Wenruan has already contacted the property management and plans to buy another parking space.

"Ding——" The elevator door slowly opened.

Wenruan grasped the door handle and opened the door of 1702. She threw the bag in her hand and shouted, "I'm back."

Qian Guixiang came out of the kitchen with a smile on her face, "Ruanruan, are you tired from work? The food will be ready soon. Do you want something to drink?"

"Why do you make me act like a guest? I can get whatever I want to drink myself."

"Well, I just feel sorry for you!" Qian Guixiang quickly hung up her daughter's bag and took out her slippers.

Looking at her mother who was so enthusiastic towards her, Wenruan smiled helplessly, changed her shoes, opened the refrigerator, took out a bottle of juice, and started drinking it in small sips.

Since signing the family trust, my mother has completely let it go.

Now, apart from urging her to have a baby soon, I send her various WeChat messages and phone calls every day to show my concern.

It feels like going back to the time when I was in school.

"By the way, Ruanruan." Qian Guixiang held her daughter's hand and said with a smile, "I recently signed up for a maternal and child care training course and plan to train for two months. Whenever you need me, just tell me and I will move to Shengyuan Jiajing to take care of you immediately."

"Oh my god!" Wenruan held his forehead with one hand, "Please calm down. Didn't I transfer 20 yuan to you? Can't you take my dad out for a trip when you have time?"

"We are not in a hurry. Besides, your father is a hard worker. He will not feel at ease if he does not have work for a day. He has been discussing with your second uncle about doing water and electricity modification recently."

Wen Ruan said angrily, "You two are such a pain in the ass. Isn't someone going to take over the printing factory soon? Why are you making such a fuss?"

At this time, Wen Jianxin came out of the kitchen carrying dishes and said, "We have all learned about it these days. The printing factory has too many problems and it cannot be saved. Everyone says that the new boss bought the factory for the land. What he said about renovating the production line is just empty talk. Those who need to be laid off will still be laid off."

"That's not necessarily true." She replied softly and playfully, with a smile on her face.

Qian Guixiang pulled out a chair in the restaurant and said, "Okay, okay, let's eat quickly."

The dinner was very sumptuous. In addition to the warm and delicious home-cooked dishes, there were also some braised snacks.

The family of three was eating happily.

Wen Ruan calmly chatted with her father about the Yanbei Printing Factory.

Wen Jianxin is one of the company's earliest technical workers.

From the printing workshop to the processing workshop, I was transferred to the equipment maintenance department three years ago, responsible for the daily maintenance of production equipment.

I am very aware of the current difficulties faced by Yanbei Printing Factory.

In the early days of its establishment, relying on its relationship with the government, the printing factory developed smoothly and had a large number of fixed orders.

Later, I misjudged the market development and bought a batch of offset printing machines and die-cutting machines with loans.

Who would have thought that before long, peers would begin to transform to digital printing and embrace the e-commerce trend.

Because Yanbei Printing Factory had enough orders at the time, it did not continue with the reform and missed this opportunity.

If you fall behind one step, you will fall behind step by step. Orders will start to be lost, costs will rise, and equipment will be gradually eliminated.

Finally ended up in the current situation.

The debt problem has now erupted across the board, involving banks, suppliers and employees.

Now it can’t even pay the interest owed to the bank, and the most valuable thing left is the 30 acres of industrial land.

At the end of the conversation, Wen Jianxin's face was filled with sighs and emotion.

Yanbei Printing Factory was once glorious. At its peak, it had nearly 400 employees and an annual output value of over million yuan.

Although the profit is very low due to industry issues, it still supports a large group of people.

This includes their family.

It was once their pride and sustenance.

This allows them to persist even after being cheated in demolition.

Who would have thought that it would end up in a situation where its assets are more than its debts.

Recalling the past, Wenruan also sighed.

She was really grateful to Su Yu in this regard.

I hope the changes she brings can help the printing factory survive, and then gradually upgrade and transform it to get better and better.

...

After dinner, Qian Guixiang went to the kitchen to clean up.

Wen Jianxin took out a box of pure milk and a box of small cakes from the balcony and placed them at the entrance.

Wenruan asked curiously, "Dad, what are you going to do?"

"Let's go see Pingshun." Wen Jianxin sighed and explained, "He has been delivering food recently. He was hit by an electric tricycle last week and stayed in the hospital for a few days. He was just discharged this afternoon. I'm going to visit his home."

Wen Ruan was surprised and asked, "Ah? Is it serious?"

"It's okay, just a little concussion."

Wenruan stood up directly, "Come on, Dad, I'll go with you."

Because they were close in age, she and Wen Pingshun had a good relationship when they were young.

Especially at school, I helped her solve a lot of messy problems.

It's considered as a token of friendship for each other.

I had previously promised to help the other party arrange a job, but due to the printing factory's serious debt problem, the acquisition was proceeding very slowly.

As a result, this promise has not been fulfilled, and this time they can rest assured.

A few minutes later, the pink Lynk & Co 06 drove out of the underground garage.

After driving for a while, we arrived at Huishui Home Community on the edge of the North Third Ring Road.

Wen Pingshun's family emptied their savings in the past two years and bought a small two-bedroom apartment of 86 square meters here as a down payment.

"Knock knock knock--" Wen Jianxin knocked on the door.

After a while, the door was pushed open.

The gray-haired Wen Guanghua leaned out and saw the two people standing at the door, especially Wen Ruan, with an expression of inexplicable surprise on his face.

"Jianxin, Ruanruan, you are here!"

Two months have passed since Wen Ruan promised to help find a job. It is impossible to say that I am not anxious.

He had also asked Wen Jianxin before, but the news he got was that Wen Ruan had just joined the company as a senior executive and had not yet established himself. He definitely could not take care of it for the time being, so he asked him to wait.

Since he was asking for help, Wen Guanghua naturally didn't dare to rush too much and could only wait.

I didn't expect Wen Ruan to come to my house today.

"Uncle Guanghua, is Brother Pingshun okay?"

"It's alright, come in and sit down. Hey, you said you're here, what else are you bringing?"

As he spoke he went into the house.

Wenruan looked around at the plain and simple decoration environment, and her expression was slightly stunned.

In addition to Wen Pingshun, there was also a middle-aged man wearing glasses sitting on the sofa in the living room.

He was about 50 years old, wearing a polo shirt, slightly plump, and looked very impressive.

Wen Jianxin smiled and said, "Yunxiang, you are here too."

Wen Ruan also greeted politely.

Wen Yunxiang sat upright on the sofa and nodded calmly at the two of them.

Although Wen Yunxiang is not very old and of low generation, he is an important figure in their family.

In 1997, a printing workshop had just started to emerge in the village where my family lived.

Wen Yunxiang was one of the first people to open a small factory with his family members, and he had more than 20 people under him.

We mainly undertake the business of printing workbooks, financial accounts, receipts, envelopes, etc., and we make a lot of money.

I bought a house in the city early on.

Later in 08, due to environmental protection and urban planning issues, Yanbei Printing Factory was established.

After Wen Yunxiang joined the company, he became the workshop director of the offset printing workshop within a few years with his excellent communication skills and prestige.

He is also the person with the highest position in their family at the Yanbei Printing Factory.

Including Wen Guanghua and Wen Jianxin, they were once his employees.

Wen Pingshun, who was standing beside them, quickly stood up and greeted them warmly, "Uncle Jianxin, Ruanruan, come and sit over here."

Wenruan calmly sat down on the sofa and gently placed the bag on her legs. "Brother Pingshun, how do you feel?"

"It's not a serious injury, but the doctor was afraid something might happen, so he insisted that I stay for two more days." Wen Pingshun smiled shyly, took out a disposable paper cup, and poured a cup of tea for the two of them.

"It's better to be careful."

A few people exchanged a few words in the living room.

Noticing Wen Guanghua's hesitation several times, Wenruan said softly, "Brother Pingshun, don't deliver food after this. I've arranged a job for you. The specific position hasn't been determined yet, and I need to see what you think. Just focus on recuperating and don't worry about other things."

Hearing this, Wen Guanghua and Wen Pingshun stood up excitedly and kept thanking him.

Wen Guanghua grinned, his wrinkled eyes a little moist.

Wenruan said with a gentle look, "Uncle Guanghua, you will retire in a few years, so relax a little, and your life will get better and better."

"Thank you, Ruanruan." Wen Guanghua couldn't help but sigh: "My family owes so much money, and there is a mortgage of more than 4000 yuan every month. How can I retire? I just want to find a job now."

Wenruan comforted him, "The printing factory is about to be taken over by someone else. With so many workers, there will definitely be a solution that satisfies everyone."

Then, laughter broke out.

Wen Yunxiang, who had been silent the whole time, shook his head and said, "You think it's too simple. How can it be so good?"

Wenruan raised her brows slightly, "What does Uncle Yunxiang mean?"

Wen Yunxiang took out a cigarette and lit it, then said slowly, "I have been in contact with the manager and the representative of the acquirer, and you don't understand the situation at all.

This group of people specialize in financial mergers and acquisitions. They are extremely professional and have powerful backgrounds.

He was able to persuade government leaders to step in and personally coordinate the resolution of the dispute between the printing factory and the bank.

Not only was a debt extension agreement reached, but 30% of the interest was also waived.

They are mobilizing such a large force, it's definitely not for our bankrupt printing factory, but most likely because they have their eyes on this piece of land.

I tell you, the best outcome would be to pay the wages and severance pay owed to employees in the end.”

Hearing this, Wen Guanghua and Wen Jianxin sighed at the same time.

The printing factory owed them four months' salary, their social security was cut off, and they were unable to pay out severance pay.

Everyone has lost confidence in the printing house.

"That's not necessarily true." Wen Ruan chuckled and said, "I got some inside information. The acquirer will bring a batch of orders this time, which will help the printing factory overcome the difficulties."

The reason why she didn't say it directly is mainly because she has never shown up and has no direct evidence.

No one would believe it if I told them, and I had to explain it to them in great detail.

Why not just take over the printing factory before tomorrow? The facts are before us and they speak louder than anything else.

It can also give these relatives a little shock.

As Wenruan's words fell, several people were stunned, with different expressions on their faces.

Wen Jianxin was surprised and asked, "Ruanruan, why haven't I heard you say that before? Is it true? Where did you hear that?"

"I'm working in the media now, so I'm naturally more informed."

Wen Guanghua excitedly echoed, "Yes, yes, yes. Ruanruan is now a senior executive of a media company. She must know more than us!"

"That would be best, I hope everything goes well."

In fact, with so many workers in the printing factory, it is not difficult for most of them to find a job.

The reason why they have been deadlocked and have not disbanded, besides the issue of unpaid wages, is because the news of the acquisition is worrying them.

If the printing factory can be revitalized, it will undoubtedly be the best news.

Seeing their expressions, Wen Yunxiang shook his head, stood up and said, "Guanghua, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first. The buyer will come to sign the contract tomorrow, and you should also tell the others not to cause trouble on the scene. Let's get over this first, and then we can talk about salary and severance pay. After all, there is really no money in the field right now."

He came over late at night to calm down some emotional workers.

After all, in addition to the acquirer, there will also be government leaders present tomorrow.

Because the situation at home is particularly difficult, Wen Guanghua is the focus of care this time.

"Okay, I know." Wen Guanghua rubbed his clothes with his dark hands and stood up to see Wen Yunxiang off.

He has been working in the offset printing workshop, and Wen Yunxiang is his direct superior.

In addition, the prestige that the other party has built up in the family over a long period of time makes his words carry a lot of weight.

Wen Yunxiang nodded to Wen Ruan and others and strode out.

Watching him disappear.

Wen Jianxin whispered, "Don't worry about it, Ruanruan. Your uncle Yunxiang is just like that."

"Haha." Wenruan chuckled softly, "It's okay."

She is better at dealing with the human relationships than her father.

She knew what Wen Yunxiang was thinking. He still didn't take her, a junior, seriously, so naturally he didn't take her words seriously.

Wait until Wen Guanghua comes back.

They sat in the living room and chatted for a while.

Before leaving, Wen Ruan called Wen Pingshun aside and opened his cell phone to operate it for a while.

He looked up and smiled, "Brother Pingshun, I transferred some money to you through Alipay. Just think of it as a loan from me. You can pay it back when you are rich. There is no rush."

Wen Pingshun was stunned for a moment, "No, no, this..." Wen Ruan picked up the bag and said with a smile: "Okay, we have known each other since childhood, and we are such close relatives. You are in trouble now, and I earn a lot, so it is natural for me to help you."

Wen Pingshun's lips moved for a while, and he lowered his head and said, "Thank you, Ruanruan."

"Don't be polite. That's it. It's getting late. My dad and I will go home first. Bye."

"I'll see you and Uncle Jianxin off."

Dark as ink.

Wen Pingshun lowered his head in silence and sent the two people directly to the car.

Standing in the evening breeze, watching the taillights of Lynk & Co 06 disappear around the corner of the street.

Because they were of similar age and lived next door to each other, he and Wen Ruan had a very good relationship when they were young.

We went to the same elementary and junior high school and were pretty good friends.

But later, as we grew older, our relationship gradually faded.

Unlike Wenruan, who was admitted to a prestigious school and lived a glorious life, his life was extremely difficult.

Not long after I graduated from college, my mother was diagnosed with cancer. I emptied out our family savings and borrowed money to buy a house, which happened to coincide with a drop in property prices.

I finally recovered and found a girlfriend, but then the company was about to go bankrupt again.

At this moment, I felt the warm care and concern, and my heart was deeply touched.

On the way home, Wen Pingshun took out his mobile phone and turned on the screen.

I stared at the payment information of 10 yuan on Alipay for a long time.

Tears flowed from the corners of my eyes without me noticing.

……

In the moving Lynk & Co 06 car.

Wen Ruan looked at her father's increasingly wrinkled face in the driver's seat, and suddenly asked with a smile, "Dad, you are exactly 50 years old this year, right?"

"Um..." Wen Jianxin was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "I'm exactly 50 years old, and 51 years old in lunar age."

"You have been working in printing since the 15s, and have worked in Yanbei Printing Factory for years. Have you ever thought about becoming the top boss?"

"Top leader? What do you mean?"

"It means being the director or general manager of a printing factory."

Wen Jianxin paused for a moment, shook his head and said with a smile: "Come on, I'm just a worker. How can I be a big leader? I don't even dare to dream about it."

Wenruan leaned back in the seat, looked sideways at her father, and said with a smile: "I remember hearing you say many times when I was a child that if you became a factory director in the future, you would buy me new toys and a new schoolbag, and buy a car and a big house for our family."

"Well, that's all due to my youthful recklessness." Wen Jianxin blushed. "I, your father, have never achieved much in my life. My greatest achievement is raising a daughter like you."

"Haha." Wenruan shook her legs playfully, "That's right, your daughter will become more and more outstanding, allowing you to show off in front of your relatives."

Hearing this, Wen Jianxin laughed out loud, his eyes full of kindness and pride.

They have a very good relationship as father and daughter, and Wen Jianxin dotes on his daughter very much, never letting her suffer from any hardship since she was a child.

When Wen Ruan went to college in 2011, he gave her 1500 yuan per month for living expenses.

The fact that Wen Ruan can develop such a casual and generous personality has a lot to do with Wen Jianxin.

Bright headlights illuminate the road.

The father and daughter were chatting and laughing, and before they knew it, they arrived at Oasis Garden.

The car was parked in the underground garage.

Wen Ruan suddenly asked, "Dad, you will also go to the printing factory tomorrow, right?"

"Well, after all, it concerns the life and death of the factory, and there are still wages owed, so everyone will definitely go over to check on the situation."

"OK." Wenruan unbuckled her seat belt and said with a smile, "I'll give you a surprise tomorrow, too."

"What surprise?"

"Hehe, it's not a surprise if I tell you." Wen Ruan opened the car door and got out with her bag.

Looking at his daughter's figure, Wen Jianxin seemed to see again the daughter who was showing off to him that she had got full marks in the exam.

……

September 2023, 9, Tuesday, cloudy, 5~23℃.

7: am.

Wenruan sat up from the familiar bed and tidied her messy hair.

I changed into sportswear and strolled around the neighborhood for half an hour.

I went home and had breakfast with my parents.

Start to take care of yourself seriously.

Take a shower, put on makeup, change clothes...

Today is also a very important day for her.

Strictly speaking, this printing house is her first business, and it also involves family connections.

9: am.

"Ding-ling-ling——" The cell phone rang suddenly.

【Administrative Assistant-Wang Dandan】

After the call was connected, a familiar clear and bright voice came from the receiver: "Boss Wen, we are already outside the east gate of Oasis Garden."

"Okay, I know."

After hanging up the phone, Wenruan said goodbye to her mother.

She picked up her Hermès bag, put on high heels, and walked out.

The assistant team arranged for her by Tang Zong Entertainment not only serves Guangying Media, but also everything related to her work and life.

For the [Acquisition Project Signing Meeting] for Yanbei Printing Factory, in addition to Su Yu's people, her assistant team will also follow and take over her work.

After all, there are still a lot of trivial matters to deal with after the acquisition is completed.

She couldn't possibly have much time to waste on this.

As I walked out of the east gate of the community, I saw Wang Dandan and others standing there.

Next to them, two black Maybachs were parked quietly, probably arranged by Zhen Yu.

“President Wen!” “President Wen!”…

Wang Dandan took the bag from Wenruan's hand and opened the back door of the Maybach.

Wenruan nodded calmly, bent down and sat down.

Soon, there was a dull sound of a door closing.

The two cars started one after another and drove towards the northeast.

……

Yanbei Printing Factory is located outside the North Third Ring Road, close to the Hutuo River Ecological Zone, and has a very beautiful surrounding environment.

It covers an area of ​​30 acres, roughly equivalent to three football fields.

However, since the factory and office buildings were built more than ten years ago, they look a bit shabby.

However, the factory was cleaned up at this time, and even had many bright red banners hung.

It looks very festive at first glance.

Wen Jianxin and others changed into blue work clothes, squeezed in with the crowd, and stood in the corner looking around.

The sounds of conversation and discussion were endless.

Some people looked excited and expectant, while others sighed and looked pessimistic.

"I don't know who the new boss is. It seems he hasn't shown up yet."

"Anyway, it sounds weird. They say it's an investment team from Shanghai. It's very formal."

"I heard from Manager Wang that the district will send a leader here today. Is it to solve our employment problem?"

"Come on, just think about good things. I don't ask for much now. Just pay the money you owe me."

"With so many of us, five months' salary plus redundancy compensation is estimated to be more than 5 million. I think it's too much."

...

It was approaching 10 o'clock in the morning.

The leaders of Yanbei Printing Factory walked out of the office building.

The discussion among the crowd gradually died down.

Cars drove into the factory park.

Many well-dressed men and women came down from above.

"Those people are the investment institution members from Shanghai, right? They all look very young, about the same age as my son."

"Our district leader has also arrived. It's Director Wang who came to inspect before."

...

"Who are those people? What a big scene! The district leaders went up to greet them personally."

Looking at the surging crowd, everyone's faces were filled with surprise.

The discussion got louder again.

Soon, a piece of news spread among the crowd.

The people who came later were all from Tangyi Precision (Yancheng) Co., Ltd., and one of them was a senior executive at the vice president level.

This news instantly stimulated everyone's nerves and completely ignited the crowd.

No wonder district leaders are here in person!

No one doesn't know what kind of company Tangyi Precision is, especially those workers in the industrial sector. When they drink, brag, and discuss national affairs, they talk about this company the most.

This is a global top technology manufacturing group.

The core businesses cover consumer electronics, automotive electronics, semiconductors, industrial mother machines, etc.

And its branch in Yancheng is also very powerful.

Founded in 2020, it includes 3 smart factories + 1 joint laboratory.

32 local "specialized, precise and innovative" supporting enterprises have been cultivated.

It is an integrated "research-production-supply" base radiating the markets of North China and Northeast Asia.

With more than 1.2 employees, it ranks among the top three local manufacturing industries and is a real major taxpayer.

If someone's relatives can work there, they can go out and brag and drink a few more bottles of beer.

The question is, why would a big shot of this level come to such a small printing factory?

It can't be that Tangyi Precision wants to acquire them, right?

Of course, such good things can only be thought of in dreams.

With Tangyi's precision capabilities, it is entirely possible to build a brand new digital printing factory (Industry 4.0) from scratch in a short period of time.

And we can negotiate any place you want.

...

Amid the noise of discussion among the crowd, two more cars slowly drove in from the entrance.

Leading the way was a Maybach S680.

Against the backdrop of the majestic body, the double M logo on the front of the car is particularly eye-catching.

All parties attending the [Acquisition Project Signing Meeting] stopped talking and looked towards the car.

The discussions around gradually died down.

The two cars slowly stopped in front of the office building one after another.

The car doors opened one after another, and five men and women carrying briefcases got out of the car.

They are all around 30 years old, wearing neat business suits, walking calmly and with upright posture.

Immediately afterwards, the rear door of the Maybach S680 was opened.

The exquisite high heels landed steadily on the ground, and an elegant and upright figure stood up from them.

She had a faint smile on her face, her facial features were bright and beautiful, and her long brown-black hair was draped over her shoulders.

The exquisitely tailored light gray suit skirt outlines the graceful and sexy figure.

There were bursts of exclamations from the crowd on the right side of the office building.

"Warm and soft? Warm and soft!"

"Soft!"

"Jianxin, isn't that your daughter? Why is she here?!"

...

Wen Jianxin looked at his daughter who got out of the Maybach, his head buzzing, and he had no idea what was going on.

Wen Pingshun rubbed his eyes hard, wondering if he was dazzled.

But the shouts around clearly showed that this was indeed warm and soft.

The commotion began to spread.

Everyone who knew her stared with wide eyes and shock on their faces.

Thick clouds were flowing, and sunlight poured down like a waterfall, gently falling on her body, giving her a halo.

Wenruan raised her chin slightly, her eyes confident and sharp, and walked forward with her assistant.

At this moment, she did indeed have some of the qualities of a "media queen".
